Mourinho the key to United’s stopper bid

Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane will reportedly only agree to a move to Manchester United if Jose Mourinho is named the manager.

The Red Devils have been heavily linked with a Â£30million bid for the highly-rated 23-year-old French defender who has admitted to being frustrated at his lack of first-team action under current boss Zinedine Zidane due to the form of Pepe and Sergio Ramos.
And while reports claimed Varane would be open to a move to Old Trafford, it is now being suggested that he will only agree to the switch if his former Real boss Mourinho will be the man in charge this summer.
